The Caterham drives defensively as long as he can, haha:

Here's a working link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJIBQw1bpW0

If the SR4 drove the same way the Caterham driver did, the "race" would be over in less than a lap. Tapping the corner of the guy ahead to "accidently" spin him off track is questionable sportsmanship.

The trouble with this comparison is that the bike's not a true road-going sportbike, it's a trails bike that can be driven on-road. How often does someone in a car come up against a guy riding practically an offroad bike who wants to race? Try the comparison again with something proper like an R1 and see what happens. But, where's the entertainment in that...

I kinda think the guy in the radical pinched the caterham and spun himself,I mean the caterham was nearly into the grass trying to avoid the obvious blocking.So which is less sportsmanlike,the imo unavoidable tap or the blocking that was likely the cause of the tap?.

motard stylings are all the rage here in the bay area. naked bikes etc etc..... run into this style all the time. its great fun to slap a light bike back and forth on the twisties and at under 300 lbs for most of them nowadays. .. 100+ hp goes a loooong way.
